The distributed seam-bom shouldn't describe any non-seam dependencies directly
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SEAM-110
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAM-110
             Project: Seam 3 Distribution
          Issue Type: Enhancement
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0.Beta3
            Reporter: Geoffrey De Smet


The seam-bom currently also describes other dependency versions such as drools-core and javassist.
If the seam-bom is meant to be used by other projects (=users), that's a bad thing,
because it overwrites the version that they are using. For example:

{code}
seam-bom declares:
- drools-core 5.1.0.Final
- javassist 3.0.14-GA

droolsjbpm-parent declares:
- drools-core 5.3.0.Final 
- javassist 3.0.15-GA

guvnor extends droolsjbpm-parent

guvnor-webapp extends guvnor and dependencyManagement imports seam-bom and declares
- drools-core
- javassist

Result: guvnor-webapp gets which is wrong
- drools-core 5.1.0.Final
- javassist 3.0.14-GA
{code}

If seam-bom would only declare seam-* dependencies, then everything would be fine:
those dependencies have the correct dependency versions they want (drools-core 5.1.0.Final and javassist 3.0.14-GA) but a multiproject can easily overwrite them to a higher version.
